The other is "Four-Dimensionalism: An Ontology of Persistence and Time" by Ted Sider (ISBN-13: 978-0199263523). There are also quite a few initiatives in this area. ISO15926 is a 4D ontology for the oil and gas industry. The defence industry has the IDEAS ontology (www.ideasgroup.org). In addition, there is the BORO Method for producing 4D ontologies.

I embrace bringing time in because time can not be left out of anything. Time is a part of baseball even though the sport does not race against time like basketball and football. It's more like golf and tennis. You play, you pitch, you hit and whatever time it takes it takes. Insights change because time changes them. Campbells soup only a few short months ago was having trouble selling in a luxury economy. Now a one dollar can of add water soup is selling much much better. It's more relevant in today's time.
